Résumé : Prior’s images of progress, decay and design explore the state of the contemporary world with an eerie clarity.Loose Joints is proud to announce Slip Me the Master Key, a monograph by Thomas Prior collecting together two decades of the American artist’s precise and unflinching photographic practice. Prior's sharp images have a connecting thread of the American uncanny, often looking into the bleeding edge of technology, environment, capitalism, and culture to evoke an anthropocentric vision that's sublime in its consistency and composition. Prior’s detailed style moves fluidly between commissioned and personal work to find a subtle dissonance that captures the tremors of Western life at the edge, speaking in their stillness to hidden dynamics of power, change and control in the 21st Century.
